Loading single geocaches
When you click the ‘Send to GPS’ option on the cache page you’ll be prompted to install the
Magellan Communicator by the browser. You only need to do this once. The GPX file is then
transferred (along with any additional waypoints) directly to the GPS.
Using Magellan Vantage Point to handle PQ’s
You can download your PQ’s directly into Vantage Point and then transfer them to the 710. It
creates a single file no matter how many PQ’s you load. It will also transfer the cache page
images and these appear in the cache description when you view it.
Using GSAK to handle PQ’s
Using the standard GSAK export to a GPS (set as Magellan 710) sends a single file which also
includes the images (though you have the option not to transfer the images).
Managing PQ files on the 710
There is an Import and Export feature on the GPS. If you create folders on the microSD card
(or in main memory) for each of your PQ’s you can copy your individual PQ files from the PC to
them (caches and waypoints). Then using the Import and Export you can remove the current
geocaches/waypoints from the Geocaches/Waypoints folder and replace them with
geocaches/waypoints from one of the PQ folders. This allows you to store more than the
allowed 10,000 caches.
Geocache Menu – finding and viewing geocaches
